Asus A8N32-SLI Deluxe and DDR500?

[velocci]

Hi there, I'm thinking of buying an Asus A8N32-SLI Deluxe mb. I read in anandtech.com that with Rev. E AMD, you can put DDR 433, 466, 500 memory in there. What exactly is Rev. E AMD? is it a bios update? where do i get this?

thanks

Rev E = Venice and some other AMD CPUs. Check this out:

and look up steppings E3, E4, and E6. I expect there's more to it than that, though. Some Rev. E chips seem to be rumored to have better memory controllers than others.
